Microplastics in water
Microplastics end up in the environment and waterways as a result of plastic waste degrading into smaller particles, as wash-off from textiles, and when cosmetics, detergents, and other chemicals with microbeads are washed down the drains. Due to their small size (under 5 mm diameter), microplastics usually pass through water filtration systems into nature. Measurlabs offers accurate analyses for determining the presence of microplastics in inland waters, seawater, groundwater, wastewater and drinking water, as well as for soil and sludge. We also offer testing for how the release of microplastics from textiles during laundering.

Identification of microplastics
FTIR and µRaman are common methods for identifying plastics and polymers present in different samples, including water, soil, and sludge. They can provide valuable information on different plastic types and specify different types of polymers by size. Compared to FTIR, µRaman is more cost-effective and can provide more information on the smallest microplastic particles, which makes it the preferable method.
Measurlabs offers high-quality microplastic analyses in top laboratories around the world at affordable prices.

Particle size determination of microplastics
In addition to identifying the microplastic, obtaining information about the size and size distribution of the particles can be of interest. This can be done with SEM-EDX analysis, offered by Measurlabs laboratories. Contact us through the form below to get a quote for your analysis package.
